CABLE & DEADPOOL #48
With his best pal gone, Deadpool continues his trek through time and space, spreading friendship and mercenary whoop-@$$ throughout the cosmos. After concluding his mysterious mission for Dr. Strange, Deadpool finds himself in the middle of a Louisiana swamp, confronted by He-Who-Has-Died-Twice, the Master of All Reptiles himself, BROTHER VOODOO. What shenanigans await these two? Find out in “Alone Again, Naturally” part 6!
I do like this book better with less (or no) Cable, so I'm looking forward to this one.
CAPTAIN AMERICA #33
The Winter Soldier faces off against Iron Man!
The man at the top of Bucky's hitlist is finally in his grasp... but saying anything more than that will spoil all our surprises! Still, the final moments of this issue will stun fans just as much as the final moments of Captain America #25 did!
If I had to strip my list to one comic, it'd be Captain America. Every month, it's at the top of the read pile, and I don't see that changing yet.
MS. MARVEL #22
The Brood return! Carol Danvers is alone and powerless on Monster Island, surrounded by creatures that want her blood! Brian Reed (CAPTAIN MARVEL) and Aaron Lopresti (INCREDIBLE HULK) bring you a tale of monsters and the many faces of Ms. Marvel!
Never been a big fan of the Brood, but still liking the book for the most part. I've seen some complaints about the cover, which I don't quite get, although it's nice to actually see Carol's eyes on a cover (on one of the heads, at least--I don't like the white-eye look on Batman and I don't like it on Carol). The thirteen-year-old is pleased at the possibility of seeing Carol as Binary again, though.
NEW AVENGERS #37
It’s the throwdown of the year. The New Avengers versus the Hood's gang of super-villains, bloody, angry and shocking to the end. But still they have to ask: WHO DO YOU TRUST??
Wow, the Skrull stuff is still going on by then? Okay. I like this book well enough that it really isn't in danger, but going by the description I'd guess that there's some narrative treading of water here.
SHE-HULK #24
Want to know what's up with She-Hulk? This is the issue to find out: Visit her new home. Meet her new neighbors. Say hello to her new boss. And share her first encounter with the man who may become her new love interest...or her greatest enemy...or possibly both.
This sounds like a fun issue--the new boss/new home/new neighbors parts, anyway. The new love interest, not so much if it's being announced like this.
THE TWELVE #0
This preview comic features the origin stories of Golden Age greats “Rockman” from USA Comics #1 (August 1941) by Charles Nicholas and Basil Wolverton and the never-before-reprinted “Laughing Mask” by Will Harr and Maurice Gutwirth from Daring Mystery Comics #2 (February 1940) and Phantom Reporter by Mike Robard and Sam Cooper from Daring Mystery Comics #3 (April 1940) along with character sketches and preview pages of the new series The Twelve by J. Michael Straczynski with art by Chris Weston.
Oh yeah. This one I want. Big time. Love Golden Age reprints. :)
Oh, and for a change of pace, what I'm not getting:
ULTIMATES 3, any of them.
The main Ultimates title is the only thing I ever read from the Ultimate universe. I liked it--liked Ultimates 1, liked Ultimates 2. However, by the time I got the last issue of Ultimates 2, I had pretty much lost interest in the story, and the interest has not returned. Therefore, I'm not getting Ultimates 2.
AVENGERS CLASSIC #7
The mighty Avengers face their darkest hour as Iron Man finds himself on trial and an ensorcelled Thor battles his teammate --- with the Enchantress, the Executioner and evil Baron Zemo waiting to pick up the spoils in this extraordinary Marvel epic! Reprinting AVENGERS #7 by Stan Lee & Jack Kirby, with an all-new adventure for Earth’s Mightiest Heroes from writer Dwayne McDuffie (FANTASTIC FOUR) and artist Michael Avon Oeming (POWERS)!
I figured I'd enjoy the backups (I've got the original stories on DVD), but I haven't, not $2.99 of enjoyment anyway.
IRON MAN #24
The mystery of “Haunted” continues as Tony Stark, burdened by the ghosts of his past, journeys back to Omaha to get the answers he isn’t supposed to be searching for.
And I'm tired of Iron Man. The art doesn't appeal, the stories don't appeal, the character (a long-time favorite) no longer appeals. May pick it up again at some point, but right no I'm letting it go.
